Even as professionals in the field, we’ve experienced how hard it can be to understand and navigate the healthcare system. We know that treatments developed and approved under tightly-regulated clinical trial conditions may not reflect the real-world environment. Health outcomes still hinge more on where we live than on universal standards of care. We believe that needs to change - and that starts
with empowering patients with the information they need to advocate for themselves and manage their care. Our founders' roots are in business and three pillars of the healthcare system - medicine, pharmaceuticals and data science. We've seen firsthand, professionally and personally, that the experience is both deeply personal and at times, dehumanizing. Our belief that the system can and must work better for patients, is what led us to create the Ribbon. We're harnessing our experience and expertise to create intelligent solutions that use clinical treatment guidelines, real world data, and state-of-the-art artificial intelligence to empower patients with clarity about their best treatment options - based on their specific condition. By sharing experiences and interactions with our platform, patients can help to continuously generate even deeper insights and better outcomes for themselves and others.
